EUROPEAN MARITIME DAYS
PLEASE USE OUR A-Z INDEX TO NAVIGATE THIS SITE
The
European Maritime Days (EMD) are the annual meeting points for
Europe’s maritime community to network, discuss, and forge
joint action, in support of an integrated approach to maritime
affairs. Typically, it is an inspiring, interactive and
dynamic event with a strong focus on key European
Commission priorities such as their blue growth agenda.
EMD was officially created on 20 May 2008 and since then is
celebrated annually across Europe on or around the 20th of
May.

ARE PLANET EARTH'S POLICIES WORKING? - If they were, we'd not have plastic poisoning the marine environment, or global warming. The problem is world leaders rely too much on fossil fuels and do not want to rock the boat until there is a solid backup plan, but the backup plan involves change. And that frightens them to stay put even though the water is already bubbling.
We cotton to that. Nobody likes change. But instead of overheating the planet and killing life undersea with toxic plastic, surely it would make sense to brave the new world and accelerate the adoption of renewables and a society that cleans up after itself. We need new sustainable infrastructures to save PLANET A and a gradual changeover plan that sits well with stakeholders. Not to have the infrastructures ready is suicide politics - the way of the Dodo.
